Redox Reactions And Electrochemistry Ques 26
Question: In the cell $ Zn|Z{n^{2+}}||C{u^{2+}}|Cu, $ the negative electrode is [MP PMT 1995]
Options:
A) $ Cu $
B) $ C{u^{2+}} $
C) $ Zn $
D) $ Z{n^{2+}} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
In the cell $ Zn|Z{n^{2+}}||C{u^{2+}}|Cu $ the negative electrode (anode) is Zn. In electrochemical cell representation anode is always written on left side while cathode on right side.
